"… It is like a game where whoever blinks first could end up paying the ultimate price. There is just no time to make a mistake,"

"In a Test match, if you make a mistake you get time and the opportunity to resurrect. I think that is the beauty of the game. It can be played in different formats but the basic constituents of the game remain the same."

"The psychological battle is almost on par with Test cricket. Here, it’s like a staring competition, and whoever blinks first loses. It was good that I could embrace this format at this stage of my career."
